The quote “Good artists copy, great artists steal” is frequently attributed to Pablo Picasso. This quote embodies the workflow of hip-hop in many ways, taking samples from great songs to create your own and building on the lyrics of other songwriters. Many of the tracks on MCHG began as works by other artists and producers. Grandmaster Caz said it best, “Hip-hop didn’t invent anything, hip-hop reinvented everything.”
